Ducks trade Paul Mara to Montreal for fifth-round draft pick

Mara had two points in 33 games with the Ducks this season, his lone goal coming with 1.7 seconds left in regulation during a 5-4 victory over Nashville on Nov. 7. He also appeared in his 700th career NHL game on Nov. 14 at Chicago.

The 6-4, 211-pound Mara played with the Canadiens last season before signing a one-year, $750,000 deal with the Ducks in September.

Mara has been a healthy scratch in 24 of the Ducks' last 27 games. He last played Jan. 18 against Ottawa.
